I've just purchased a new traffic tracking service, which requires my domain (registered at GoDaddy) to have a CNAME record pointing to their servers.
I've done that fine, and it's now working.
However, when typing it in without the "www", I get a 404 error page.
My question is, what would I type in the DNS Zone Editor to redirect my "non-www" domain to the "www" domain?
For example, I need my URL to do this…
http://mydomain.com/1234 --> http://www.mydomain.com/1234
Would it be done using an "A name record" or something? Or another way?
I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution that works, so hopefully you can help.
Thanks, James.

Go to the record editor and two DNS records, one for each host name, pointing to the Heroku SSL endpoint: Add an ALIAS record to point example.com to Heroku. Leave the Name of the record empty and set the Content field to the SSL endpoint example.com.herokudns.com. Add a CNAME record to point www.example.com to Heroku.
Select the Redirects icon under the Domains area of your cPanel home page. Keep the Type as the default, Permanent(301). Select your domain name from the drop down menu on the next line. In the redirects to text box, type in the full URL of your domain, including www (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com).
Assuming you just want to send all traffic from mydomain.com (known as your 'naked' domain) to www.mydomain.com you should be able to use domain forwarding. In GoDaddy this will be in the Domain Manager under "Domain Information" at the bottom.

For those having their servers with AWS and domain registered at Godaddy:
I set up my A record with 2 entries (Host: @ and www) as below to redirect to my server in AWS through the public ip. This catches the URLs with/without the www prefix
